Excellent tour operator
5/5

We worked with Tammy of Pembury Tours to plan our trip to South Africa. When we first contacted Tammy, she asked a few questions to get an idea of the type of vacation we were looking for. She understood what we wanted immediately and met all expectations. The itinerary was perfectly planned and the materials provided to us on our arrival in South Africa were clear and easy to use. Tammy's arrangements of transfers and travel within South Africa went off without a hitch. Tammy's choice of hotels and activities were flawless with a special shout out to the Winchester Manners (in Cape Town) and the Idube Lodge in Sabi Sands. Tammy communicated with us promptly and efficiently. I really cannot say enough good things about Tammy and Pembury Tours.

Anya was truly the best!!!!!!!!!. No stone was left unturned. She took care of the WHOLE PROCESS.
5/5

What can I say about Africa? What a vastly beautiful and amazing continent, with soooo many wonderful sights and beautiful people. Wanda and I would like to Thank You Anya for taking the time to create the BEST trip we have ever taken. Anya was accessible throughout the whole trip from the beginning to end. She never failed to get back to us. All aspects of the trip were perfectly planned. We never felt alone or lost during our 28 day trip. We had a total of 3 safaris planned. Each was unique and different in its own special way. We loved the guides, the food, the scenery. Anya perfectly broke up the trip with local venues and exotic getaways. From wine trams, to safaris, to table mountain, to penguins to food, to great locations and lodgings. We would like to thank you Anya for the very best trip of our lives. See you soon Africa and Anya as well.

Amazing Once In A Lifetime Experience!! Thank you Kerry!!!!
5/5

We started planning our trip over a year ago with Kerry at Pembury Tours. Not knowing all of what we wanted to see and do she asked questions and guided us through the process of planning our trip. I felt like I was asking so many questions but Kerry kept answering them in a timely manner and the 16 day trip was finally planned. Kerry was spot on with our whole trip!!! Our trip started in Cape Town then Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Hazyview, Livingstone, Zambia and finally Chobe Game Reserve. We did not stop with our daily agenda of all our places we wanted to visit and activities we had sign up for. At the Sabi Sand Game Reserve we saw the big 5 in two game rides and the amazing 7 in three game rides. At Chobe Game Reserve we had 7 elephants drinking from our pool outside our room!!!
The transfers and guides that were assigned to us were exceptional and on time. The whole trip worked like clockwork even the flights we had to take to move around to our destinations in Africa. If something had of went wrong Kerry was right there to fix the problem by email or phone.
I would recommend Kerry and Pembury Tours. I am so happy a friend had referred me.
Thank you Kerry for a wonderful once in a life time trip!!! We hope we can come back one day!!!

This was a trip of a 60+ year lifetime
5/5

Communication and service were excellent. This was a custom tour that flowed like clockwork, with every pick up and driver being on time or early and promptly delivering us to our next site. The guides on the game drives were superb, both in their ability to spot game and in their knowledge about all different kinds of wildlife and birds. It far exceeded our highest expectations.

The Best Travel Agent ever for a Trip of a lifetime!
5/5

We found Heidi online from all the great reviews. Indeed, Heidi at Pembury Tour was efficient, responsive, honest and priced fairly. We arrived Cape Town with a welcome package detailing the tours, the flights, the pick up times, maps, even a glossary of the animals that we would see!
We did a private tour for our family of six. We started off with 5 nights in Cape Town, staying at the beautiful Table Bay Hotel. Heidi arranged for private tours for us (wine tour, city tour, Whale watching etc). We then flew to Kruger National Park, staying at 2 different lodges (Naledi and Arathusa- both excellent) for different safari experiences (seeing different animals with different landscapes). We then flew to Victoria Falls for 3 more nights. We did an amazing dinner cruise on the Zambezi River, walked the trail along the Falls and crossed the border for a day tour at Chobe National Park.
Heidi arranged the tours, the domestic flights, the hotels and all the very prompt transfers. Everything was meticulous. We would highly recommend Heidi and Pembury Tour!

Thanks for the memories
5/5

“Thank you”, Pembury Tours and my Tour Consultant: Laurette, for arranging my 2 weeks’ vacation in South Africa. I refer to it as a “Perfect Vacation”. Everything went smoothly and hotel selections were first class. Transportation and drivers were always on time and a pleasure to be with. I highly recommend Pembury Tours for their attention to details. They rate “5 stars” with me.

Anya @ Pembury Tours is Great!
5/5

I worked with Anya on every aspect of my Safari, and I coudn't be happier. She followed my "must do" list and suggested several ingenious ways to accomplish them. In addition, I was offered several side quests that coincided with my list. Somehow, each step of the trip seemed to get better and better!

She responds with email and Skype/Facetime efficiently. When I was in Africa and felt unsure of the itinerary, Anya called me promptly to confirm dates and times. She is great!

Fantastic Experience - Great Communication, Attention to Detail and Follow Through!
5/5

We had a fantastic safari vacation in Zambia and Botswana, thanks in large part to Kerry's terrific communication and thorough attention to detail. I began planning this trip 18 months ago, and although I stated up front that I was still over a year away from the safari, Kerry followed up immediately, answered my numerous questions, and helped me put together an incredible 30th wedding anniversary trip for my husband and me. We stayed in three Sanctuary Retreats camps - Sussi & Chuma in Zambia, and Chobe Chilwero and Baines Camp in Botswana. All of our transfers were taken care of, and we experienced no issues whatsoever on our trip. She even arranged for a "guide" to get us through the Johannesburg airport when we connected through to Livingstone. It was unexpected and greatly appreciated! The camp guides were knowledgeable and friendly, the food was very good and our accommodations were just wonderful. And of course the wildlife was spectacular. We had thought this would be a "once in a lifetime" vacation, but we are certain we want to return, and when we do, we will book through Pembury Tours. Many thanks!!!
